More About Stephanie

What inspired you to become a broker/analyst/manager/officer, and how did you get started in the industry?

I started in Banking & Finance back in 2010, working at a CBA Branch. I chose banking because it was a flexible work environment where I could work part-time, around my kids. I spent 4 years in branchland before making the move into the broker world. Working in a bank, there’s only so many people you can help as you’re limited to that bank's policy, interest rates and appetite, and that’s why I am so passionate about the Broking industry. Over the past 10+ years I have worked in Broker Support, as a Broker, in training, and management. I hold a strong passion for the finance industry, as well as financial education and literacy and being highly organised with a strong love of processes, the role of Operations Manager is the perfect fit for me.

If you could describe your work style in three words, what would they be?

Organised, efficient & passionate

Can you share a fun fact about yourself that most people don’t know?

Growing up I was a dancer and even taught kids dance classes up until 9 years ago. I once performed in Disneyworld and took a dance class with the Rockettes.

Can you share a story where you helped a client (it doesn’t matter how small or big) that makes you smile?

I’ll never forget one of my first broking clients. They came to me with an Off the Plan Contract they’d signed 2 years prior, with no finance assessment. Upon review of their credit file, it was discovered that they had a credit default. They were absolutely distraught, as they were supposed to settle on their family home in 2 weeks. I was able to find them a lending solution, obtain an approval and settle within 2 weeks so they could move into their first family home. They were so grateful.

What’s one piece of advice you always give to first-time homebuyers or to investors?

Regardless of your purchase type (Owner Occ or Investment), you need the right team around you. Purchasing a property may appear to be a once off transaction however most people have long term goals to purchase again, upgrade in the future, borrow for business etc. Building a team of professionals to support these goals is so important.

What’s your favourite way to unwind after work or during the weekend?

Spend time with my husband and kids

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very personable brokers, I've felt engaged at every step of the process and the team is excellent with response times to any of the questions and queries I've had.
The outcome so far has been fantastic, they have tailored packages that are very suitable to myself and how I like to engage with lenders.
Would recommend and I will use them again.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Joel and Ivan at unconditional finance. We used their services to refinance our existing investment property and secure a loan on a second property. We were guided though the entire process and the communication we received was second to none! Our experience very pleasant! Will definitely be using again in the future!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nicole, Chris and Renee at Unconditional Finance have been absolutely outstanding.

They've supported us every step of the way, and have always available when we've had a question or needed assistance. Nothing  was too much trouble. The other thing that was reassuring, was how seamlessly the team worked with our other stakeholders.

We couldn't recommend Unconditional Finance highly enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been a client of Unconditional Finance since 2021, and we cannot speak highly enough of the exceptional services provided by Chris Raymond and his team (we never met them in person as we both live in Melbourne and they operate from Sydney office). From the outset, they have been incredibly attentive and dedicated to finding the best solutions for my mortgages (owner occupied and investment properties) and financial needs.

Chris and his team are not only highly knowledgeable and experienced in their field but also approachable and professional in their interactions. Their commitment to delivering top-notch service and personalised financial solutions is truly commendable.

We highly recommend Unconditional Finance to anyone in need of expert financial advice and support. Their outstanding services have consistently exceeded my expectations, and we are grateful for their ongoing assistance in securing our financial future.

Sincerely,

Adolfus and Giovanni
